Cool Kuwaiti Cop Cars

The government of Kuwait makes the Dodge Charger its national police vehicle.

The next time you and the family go for a Sunday drive in Kuwait, watch your rear-view mirror.

A Kuwaiti delegation visited the U.S. recently to inspect and approve the upfitting of 150 Dodge Charger police vehicles purchased by the Ministry of Interior for use as the national police vehicle of Kuwait. The decision was a no-brainer since the Dodge Charger is the number one volume vehicle for Chrysler LLC in the Middle East.

“Reflecting an image of strength and power is important for our law enforcement officials and the Dodge Charger portrays that image to the Kuwaiti people,” said Deputy Ministry of Interior, Musaed S. Al-Guwainem.

During their four-day visit to the Detroit area, the Kuwaiti delegation visited Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills, and experienced the performance of the Charger police units at the company’s proving grounds in Chelsea, Mich.

“Chrysler is proud to have worked with Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior in the sale of these Dodge Charger police vehicles,” said Trent Barcroft, Managing Director of Chrysler’s Middle East Regional Office.
